something? Do you also feel like you cannot control your thoughts? If your answer to these questions is yes then you are at the right place .Here i will be sharing some tips which are absolutely going to help you overcome the problem of overthinking.




1.Distract yourself

The first and foremost thing you can do is to distract your mind to other some physical or mental work.For example,you can choose to talk to an old friend over phone  or start reading a book .You can also start to invest your time on a new hobby or continue an old one.Keeping yourself busy is considered to be the best way to beat the problem of overthinking.

2.Don't order your mind to stop thinking

Many a times, people suffer due to overthinking because they constantly order their mind to stop thinking .let me tell you,this is the worst way to handle the problem of overthinking.The better way is to give your mind some other thing to do.For instance,you may start solving your school assignment by which the attention of your mind will shift to the assignment.
 
3.Get attached to nature!

whenever you feel like you are thinking too much ,Go out and get attached to nature.Keep yourself away from any type of gadget for at least 15 minutes and enjoy a walk in a park or garden.It will indeed relax your mind .You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.Activities such as jogging which involve the movement of large muscle groups act as stress reliever.

4.Listen to music 

Listening to music is better than retailing a medical therapy for overcoming Overthinking.Listening to music relaxes the tension muscles in your brain and makes you feel fresh and cheerful.While listening to music ,the happy hormones in your body get released and you begin to feel happy and joyful. 

5.Sing!Sing!Sing!

Singing has been scientifically proven to lower stress, relieve anxiety, and elevate endorphins which make you feel uplifted and happy.  It helps relax muscle tension and decreases the levels of the stress hormones in the blood stream and can help take your mind off the day’s troubles to boost your mood. 

6.Laugh!

"Laughter is the best medicine"
                                                   - Norman Cousins
Indeed!laughter is the best therapy to treat any illness .It releases dopamine(hormone responsible for happiness and well being )in the body and elevates your mood.Sunk in gloom? Spend some time with your loved ones and laugh a lot .Not only this,laughter also improves health and provides an internal glow to your face .Normally ,people who laugh a lot look more youthful and charming.Moreover,such people tend to be more loved by people.


7.Reduce intake of caffeine

A higher intake of caffeine ( a stimulant found in coffee,tea and cold drinks) has been proven to increase levels of anxiety ,depression and stress.It also leads to lack of sleep hence sometimes leading to Circadian Rhythm disorder(disturbed sleep pattern).Although many studies suggest that coffee can be healthy  in moderation, it’s not for everyone.

                                                                      8.Serve Others

Serving others releases 'feel good' hormones and makes you feel grateful and filled with gratitude.It also combats the problem of overthinking efficiently and makes you consider yourself a good person.Keep yourself so much busy in doing good with others that you barely get any spare time to think unnecessarily.

    This thing happens with me too, most probably in each and every situation! I over think a lot about even small things,but somewhere in between thinking about all these, there is this inner voice that says to me that you are just over thinking unnecessarily and stop it cz nothing is gonna go wrong! I realise that I am over thinking perhaps, but still I continue doing the same thing!

    Once you are fully present in this moment there is no overthinking or suffering. Overthinking comes from thinking about past which is just memories and the future is your imagination. Stay present

 "My husband left me immediately upon delivery of my third baby girl; He had always wanted a boy"- Veerwati  Veerwati with her daughter at Phagwara Bus Stand in Punjab  I see two Indias in India; One, where artists like Nora Fatehi have the privilege to talk about Feminism, and the other, where mothers like ' Veerwati' toil day and night just to earn a meager living. Today, where the world talks about ' Alpha males' and ' Alpha females', there is a country within the country of India where these concepts fail to exist.  A Dialogue with Veerwati "You have a family of four. How do you manage to take care of the finances in addition to being a lactating mother?", this was the first question I asked ' Veerwati' who hails from Shahjahanpur in UP  and had come to Punjab ten years ago in search of better opportunities with her husband. " I sometimes do petty jobs at Dana Mandi in Phagwara and during the off-season, I beg here with all m...
